He was a suspect before he wasn’t. Which was after the unscheduled Obama meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House on Wednesday immediately following reports the Saudi national was a suspect.
via Saudi News Site: Michelle Obama Visited Saudi National in Hospital on Thursday | TheBlaze.com.
The well-known Saudi Arabian news site Okaz.com released a report claiming first lady Michelle Obama visited two young Saudi Arabian nationals — including one once considered a person of interest and who sources tell TheBlaze was being considered for deportation — in the hospital Thursday following the Boston attacks and reassured them of their health status.
Below is a screenshot of the Okaz report:
Steven Miller, a researcher at the
Foundation for Defense of Democracies, translated the Arabic-language
article into English for TheBlaze.
“Yesterday, Michelle Obama, the wife of
the American President, visited the Saudis in the hospital who were
injured in the Boston bombing, Abdul Rahman Ali Isa al-Salmi al-Harbi
and Noura Khaled Saleh al-Ajaji, to reassure them of their health,”
begins the article before explaining the students’ injuries.
“Noura al-Ajaji underwent a third surgery
yesterday to repair and beautify the thigh area, just above the knee,
treat skin damage caused by shrapnel, and remove fragments. This was the
third round of the treatment plan for al-Ajaji; the first phase focused
on sterilizing the wounds, and the second focused on healing the gash
caused by glass shrapnel. Medical reports issued by the hospital
yesterday confirmed the complete integrity of her knee and thigh.”
“Al-Ajaji, who is a master’s student in
cosmetic dentistry, was injured by flying glass fragments from the
nearby Colby glasses store, which she was nearby during the Boston
Marathon bombings, resulting in an 11 centimeter gash in the thigh
area.”
A senior law enforcement official with
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told TheBlaze Thursday
that reports claiming the department was deporting Alharbi under section
212 3B (“security and related grounds”) and had opened an “event” (or
file) on the Saudi Arabian national following the Boston attacks is “categorically false.”
Documents presented to Congress, however, were subsequently reported by TheBlaze to have confirmed that plans were made to revoke the visa of Alharbi.
The congressional source told TheBlaze it
was unclear as to why representatives from Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) would be unaware of the plans for visa revocation.
The Saudi news report is plausible given that the first lady along with President Obama visited victims of the Boston bombings at several different area hospitals Thursday afternoon.
The visits were closed to the media and scheduled with little advance notice due to security reasons.
The New Yorker called Okaz as the “most popular” newspaper in Saudi Arabia.
Shoebat.com outed al Harbi as a Saudi very well connected to al Qaeda terrorists.
